Read our privacy policy David de Gea has told any Manchester United players who wish to leave the club to “just go”, and said that he and his teammates must be “ready to fight” under Erik ten Hag next season. The Selhurst Park loss marks the end of Ralf Rangnick’s time in interim charge, with ten Hag taking over as manager on a permanent basis ahead of the next season. De Gea suggested after a 12th league defeat of the season that he was more than ready to move on from a tough campaign, insisting that the club must focus on a turnaround under ten Hag with a commited group of players. “The people who don’t want to stay, just go, and the people who really want to stay at the club, who want to fight for the club, let’s have a good rest in the summer, prepare ourselves in the mind and in the body and be ready to fight again next season.” Six Manchester United players are out of contract this summer, with Nemanja Matic and Edinson Cavani already confirmed to be leaving.
